Default Humidity - please help if possible.

I enjoy cigars, and am trying to learn patience.

There is a longer background story if anyone needs to know, but i'm going to try only to include the things i feel are most significant.

-I re-seasoned my humidor a few weeks ago for 9 or so days.
-My 65% beads arrived in the mail. I charged them and put them in. RH just after seasoning was about 64%
-Before adding cigars, i watched the hygrometer. Slowly RH kept dropping. When it was at around 58, I added cigars (at the time, around 10 was all i had).
-Humidity kept dropping, it dropped to 54, then 52. On the advice of some friends here, I put the cigars in a tupperware container, along with the puck and the hygrometer.
-I bought a vino and put the tupperware in it, humidity started going up. It was at around 57 a few days ago.
-Yesterday I Received a package of 12 cigars and added them along with the 8 i had back to the humidor with the puck and hygro.
-Put the humidor in the empty vino for its sexy air tightness. Recharged beads (they are fully charged, probably 99%)
-Hygrometer now reads 51 this morning with my 20 sticks in it.

A lot of you have been helping me, and I've been getting different advice from several people and it it's all appreciated, and being a newb, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong if anything, or what i can do to resolve it. I thought maybe i was being impatient, but I've never had a constant RH of over 60 in at least 1.5 months of owning my little 25-50ct, and i'd like around 60-61 at least. I've gone through a lot of scenarios in my head, and come to the cigar asylum brethren to please help me with any advice, suggestions you can.

Thanks in advance

Myles

btw, merry christmas everyone
and Happy Chanukah to my heebz
